Step on a branch

Chapter 3
The prince's wedding ceremony is complicated.

Although the marriage contract between Qin Luan and the second prince was only a verbal engagement and did not go through those ceremonial procedures, the emperor Jinkou did not just annull this matter casually.

Whether it is retiring the engagement or regretting the engagement, it is impossible to classify such an act that damages the face of the royal family as "an old thing" in just one or two sentences.

My dear, it's not easy to retreat.

Difficult to return, difficult to return, what really puzzled Qin Luan was the reason.

Back then, "getting married" was already weird.

The second prince is only three years older than Qin Luan. Even if Concubine Shun is ambitious, she shouldn't be impatient and stand up as a target when her son is young.

Besides, the emperor, not only back then, but now also has no obvious preference for several sons of similar age.

After Concubine Shun was rejected once, she would not mention it a second time without the emperor's permission.

When I mentioned it again that year, it was probably the emperor's idea.

Since he doesn't favor the Second Highness, the emperor may have other considerations for setting him up with a marriage with a "discourse".

As for the divorce, the master did not explain in detail in the dream.

Qin Luan has neither good feelings nor bad feelings for the second prince, but she has to be aware of whether it is the reason she presented to the emperor on the surface, or the real reason why her master asked her to do this.

Need to be careful in advance and retreat.

After all, the emperor is the emperor.

No matter how many military achievements the grandfather has, he is still a courtier.

Retiring marriage cannot be done overnight, saving people is something that can and must be done right now.

The person Qin Luan wants to save is Aunt Lan.

Aunt Lan's name is Chu Yulan, she is Qin Luan's mother's best friend in her boudoir, and she is married to the eldest son of Uncle Zhongyi.

During the two years when Qin Luan was ill, Aunt Lan often brought her only daughter Wan Miao to visit her in the Hou Mansion. story.

Relying on Aunt Lan's story, although Qin Luan lost his mother early, he is no stranger to her.

After Qin Luan paid homage to her teacher and got better, Aunt Lan and Wan Miao often invited her to the uncle's residence.

After going up the mountain, Aunt Lan and Wan Miao came to see her in the Taoist temple.

Since then, although they haven't seen each other for many years, Qin Luan and Wan Miao have not broken letters.

Around the end of spring, Wan Miao mentioned that Aunt Lan was ill, but it wasn't serious, and the doctor told her to rest. Later, she wrote in a letter that her condition was recurring and her spirits were much worse. Between the lines, Qin Luan could read Wan Miao's worry and helplessness.

The daughter is afraid that her mother will not be able to afford it if she gets sick, and she knows that her life span is fixed. If it really comes to an end, no matter how reluctant she is, she will not be able to snatch her from the Lord of the Underworld.

In Qin Luan's reply letter, she comforted Wan Miao, that was all she could do at that time.

But now, after Master explained, Qin Luan knew that she could do more for Aunt Lan and Wan Miao.

Qin Luan got up and went to the inner room, took a small porcelain bottle, took the whisk, and came out again, and saw Qian'er standing by the table, concentrating on the water stains on his face.

"What's the clue?" Qin Luan asked.

Qian'er came back to her senses upon hearing the sound, and shook her head: "It's too profound, the servants can't see it."

"Drawing randomly," Qin Luan waved the whisk in front of Qian'er, and said, "Of course there is no clue."

Seeing the little girl's eyes wide open with surprise on her face, Qin Luan couldn't help but relax, and walked out of the room with a smile.

Qian'er looked at Qin Luan's back from the left, and the water-stained marks from the right. After struggling for a while, she stamped her feet and chased after him.

The random drawings are so mysterious, my girl must be the best!
As the maidservant of the girl, she has to follow the girl well.

Zhongyibo Mansion and Yongning Hou Mansion are on the same street.

The door of the uncle's mansion was open, and the frowning face on the doorman, seeing Qin Luan coming in, managed to cheer up and deal with it: "This fairy, the master's family has something to do today, and I really don't have time..."

The people of the time believed, and they were always polite to the Taoist priests who came to preach.

Knowing that the other party didn't recognize her, Qin Luan just watched her attire, politely refused to visit, so she asked Qian'er for a waist card, and said to the man: "From Yongning Houfu, I'm here to find your eldest girl."

The concierge looked intently at the waist badge, and then at Qin Luan: "Oh, is it Miss Qin?"

Qin Luan nodded.

The concierge invited Qin Luan in, and after a while, Wan Miao ran out holding her skirt.

"A Luan!" Wan Miao was panting from running, but her eyes were redder than her cheeks, obviously she had cried, "A Luan! My mother is dying!"

Qin Luan went to the inner courtyard with Wan Miao on his arm. As he walked, he comforted Wan Miao softly, gradually calming down Wan Miao's mood.

"Mother has been getting worse these past ten days," Wan Miao sobbed, "There are more times when she is asleep than awake. I am very worried about her. I am with her every day, and I don't even know you are back."

"I came back in a hurry, so I didn't bother to deliver the letter to you, so you don't know," Qin Luan said, "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctors said there was no way. My father begged my grandfather, and even the imperial physician has changed three times, but..." Wan Miao lowered her head, "Just now two more imperial physicians came, and they all said that it's only been two days. It’s a coincidence that I can see my mother for the last time.”

Qin Luan responded in a low voice.

According to Wan Miao, Aunt Lan's situation is worse than she expected.

But since the master ordered her to save people, he knew that she could save people with her ability.

If you can save it, you will save it.

The courtyard where Aunt Lan lives is very dull.

As soon as Qin Luan entered, he saw Wan Miao's father, Wan Cheng, son of the loyal uncle, talking with two imperial physicians.

Wan Cheng's complexion can be described as overcast.

Qin Luan stepped forward and called "Uncle Wan".

Wan Cheng looked at Qin Luan, forced a smile, but it was uglier than crying: "A Luan is here, he's so big, if it wasn't for the concierge's report, I wouldn't recognize him at this moment. Go in and see Look at your Aunt Lan, she must be happy to see you grow up."

Qin Luan didn't go in right away, but asked the imperial physician: "What's Aunt Lan's illness? It's just a minor illness in the spring and rests, why is it only a few months before she dies?"

"At first it was just a cold," Li Taiyi said, "Later, the condition changed, and Mrs. Shizi also had some hidden dangers when she gave birth. Now we have published it together, and we really can't do anything about it."

Another imperial physician surnamed Liao, Qin Luan was sick when he was young, he was the one who saw her, and knowing that she was close to Chu Yulan and Wan Miao, he persuaded her: "Miss, go see Mrs. Shizi, the extra... ..."

After hearing this, Wan Miao couldn't help but shed tears again.

Qin Luan held Wan Miao's hand tightly and led her into the inner room.

Those who waited on the sickbed were all the old people around Chu Yulan, and Qin Luan recognized them all, but it was not suitable to reminisce about the past at this time.

Wan Miao sat down in front of the couch: "Mother, A Luan has come to see you."

Chu Yulan's eyelids moved, she heard it, but she didn't have the strength to open it.

Qin Luan clasped Chu Yulan's wrist.

The pulse is weak, if there is nothing, and the complexion is yellow, the whole person is not very angry.

Qin Luan reached out and rolled over Chu Yulan's eyelids, the whites of the eyes were cloudy, and the eyeballs were not bright.

It is reasonable for the imperial doctor to say "it can't be done".

Seeing her actions, Wan Miao asked, "A Luan knows medicine?"

Qin Luan didn't answer, she turned her head and said to the mother-in-law who was waiting at the side: "Mother Chen, invite Uncle Wan to come in for me."

Nanny Chen looked at Wan Miao, saw Wan Miao nod her head, and left.

Soon, Wan Cheng strode in, followed by the two imperial physicians.

"What's wrong?" Wan Cheng asked anxiously while walking, "But the situation is even worse?"

Qin Luan got up from the couch, looked up at Wan Cheng, and said, "Aunt Lan can be saved, and she can be saved."
